Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
Performance and Management Fees
Our primary current fee structures for hedge fund clients are summarized below and are designed
to incent longer-term investments to improve the stability of the funds' asset bases.
● Paulson withdraws from each fund monthly or quarterly management fees at the
beginning of each accounting period based on that portion of its net asset value
attributable to management fee bearing investors. An allocable portion of the
management fee is automatically deducted from each relevant investor's account at the
beginning of the relevant accounting period.
● Certain management company officers, employees, and/or agents are permitted to
receive fees for serving on Boards. These individuals will retain those fees, and such
retention will not result in any offset to management fees.
● Investors are generally subject to a performance fee calculated on the investment
performance of each fund, as described in the relevant private offering memoranda.
Performance fees, if applicable to an investor's investment, are charged and automatically
deducted from an investor's account at the end of each fiscal year and on any interim
withdrawal of capital by, or other distribution of funds to, an investor, subject to a “high
water mark” loss carry-forward provision. Performance fees charged are intended to
comply with the requirements of Section 205 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the
Advisers Act) and its applicable rules.
Investors in any fund that we may advise in the future or in additional classes of interests of
existing funds may bear different fees than those described herein. Furthermore, the Proprietary
Funds are not charged Management Fees or Performance Fees.
